My niece and nephew recommended insuremytrip.com, a plan they use when they go on vacations. We have been travel around the world, but never thought of additional insurance until this year. My mobility difficulties have increased, making it hard for me to get around without the use of a cane, and only walking very short distances. Our trip was made almost a year ago, and didn't want to cancel. So getting hotel, and cruise ship accommodations - rooms and use of a wheelchair, really did help. But was still concerned health wise, and recalling our luggage being delayed several days when we were in Austria, and in Paris, we felt it was beneficial to us to take out travel insurance. For a 2 week travel time frame, the cost was reasonable. When we signed up, the staff were very helpful. We definitely will use insuremytrip.com, as we continue to travel!!! Being safe and prepared is worth the cost.

I am satisfied with the coverage I had on my cruise, but honestly I can't say how I would feel if I had a claim as I didn't experience that part of the insurance.

I have recommended your company to all of my friends who also found the plan worth the cost. I plan to again use your company in all of my future travels. Great company.

We are so glad that we didn’t have to use our trip insurance, but always knew that if our travel plans didn’t go as planned, that our policy and support team would be there during our time of need.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Essential
Vieques was hit hard by Hurricane Maria. There is no electric utility service at my destination, though there is an occasional electric generator. Being a CPAP user, nighttime electricity is essential for me. But, Nationwide Mutual considers the hotel "habitable," so my claim was denied. I was only looking to recoup non-refundable costs ($300 total) related to Vieques since I made alternate arrangements to stay in San Juan. So, I am disappointed.

It really can’t be meaningfully reviewed unless a claim needs to be filed.

Wow, an honest insurance company - don't hear about that too often. I called to ask what would happen if our cruise ended up being a "cruise to nowhere" after the 2017 hurricanes. It was then that I learned our policy had an itinerary change benefit. I was advised to file the claim upon returning as they needed proof that we actually took the cruise.
In the middle of filling out the paperwork, I called Nationwide with a question and learned that my benefit was actually double what I thought! Wow. Claim documentation requirements were straightforward, no "gotchas". Claim paid in about 2 weeks. Would absolutely recommend this company again.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance
Essential
We were unable to go on the trip b/c the owner of the place we were staying (Airbnb) said the electricity and water were still not quite 100% (we were supposed to have gone to Puerto Rico).
The agent I spoke with told me the owner would have to state that the Airbnb was “uninhabitable†for us to start a claim. Well, I was not going to ask her to lie - her apartment is not “uninhabitable†by definition - but not having the comfort of knowing for certain that we would have power and water 100% of the time coupled with knowing that a lot of areas in PR are still not really for tourists — we decided it would be best not to go at this time.
The insurance wasn’t going to cover it. We ended up losing $200 to one Airbnb (we had 2 units to cover the whole time span), $400 to the airline and the $158 for the insurance.

Thank you for providing feedback on this policy.
We are sorry to hear that you were unable to take your trip. The Nationwide Essential policy has a strict set of covered reason that the insurance company would cover in the event of a cancellation or interruption of your trip. They state:
"(e) Natural Disaster or documented man-made disaster at the point of departure or Your destination which renders Your primary residence or the accommodations at Your destination uninhabitable."
This terminology is the standard amongst most of our policies and the only way to cover a situation where your accommodations are in fact habitable would be with a Cancel For Any Reason benefit, which was not included on your plan.
Here are the requirements for this benefit, if you feel like this is something you would like to include on your next policy. There are 3 conditions that must be met to purchase a Cancel For Any Reason Rider as follows: Purchase the policy within 10 - 21 days of First Trip Payment; Insure ALL prepaid and non-refundable travel expenses prior to departure; Trip arrangements must be canceled more than 48 -72 hours prior to the departure date. If you meet all 3 of these conditions, most of the policies will reimburse you 75% of your trip costs, unless otherwise noted.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. Our licensed representatives are available 7 days a week and can be reached at 1-800-487-4722.

BUYER BEWARE!!
We have been purchasing trip insurance through InsureMyTrip and Nationwide for years. On Dec. 16, our flight was canceled meaning we could not reach our cruise destination of San Juan and had to meet the cruise a day later in St. Kitts. I felt sure our trip interruption portion of our policy would cover the cost of missing one day of a very expensive holiday cruise. Wow, was I wrong. When I called Nationwide, I was told unless the airport is completely shut down, the cancellation of a flight is not covered. I was told there was no need to file a claim as no payment would be made. I called InsureMyTrip to speak with someone about this. I was told, "Sorry you're not happy. Have a great day."
Never Ever Again!!!

Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to hear that your flight was cancelled and that your vacation was negatively impacted.
The Nationwide Essential plan is a "named peril" policy which means that the peril (covered reason) must be specifically listed in the plan or there is no coverage. This particular plan includes the following coverage for Trip Interruption:
"Weather that causes complete cessation of services of the Common Carrier for at least twenty-four (24) consecutive hours and prevents You from reaching Your destination."
We do have other policies available on our site that have specific cruise benefits, such as Missed Connection. In the future, if you are looking for guidance in selecting a travel insurance plan, please consider contacting our office at 800-487-4722 where a licensed representative would be happy to assist you.Jan 04,2018
